Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is very fun to dunk on the new people posting on the site in bad faith, a post to appreciate the new good faith users contributing to the site seems like a great idea.

So, what new users do you appreciate, and what should other potential new users do to get the same reception?

So when you guys say leftist, you mean communist right?

DemSoc (the people who think socialism can be voted in) is basically the least-radical tendency that it is site policy to treat at least somewhat respectfully. Other people can post, but the anti-sectarian rule doesn't apply to people who just want free healthcare and more bombs dropped on Somalia

Hexbear tries to be anti-sectarian, so I think the general definition of leftist here would be anti-capitalist.

The user base probably leans more ML/communist than anarchist, though.

We mean anyone who is fundamentally opposed to capitalism on the basis of its unequal and unjust distribution of wealth, and seeks a definitive break in favor of more democratic or representative control of the products and direction of society.
